Strongwoman Lucy Underdown Locks Out 310-kg (683.4-lb) Unofficial Deadlift World Record & PR
Lucy Underdown is on a streak of hitting new personal records in training, and it doesn’t seem like she will stop any time soon. As everyone knows, Lucy’s greatest strength is her deadlift, but she has now taken it to a whole new level. She was already capable of playing around with the current World Record weight beforehand, but has now revealed what her current one rep deadlift max is. Moreover, she posted a video of her brand new 310-kilogram (683.4-pound) deadlift PR on Instagram.
Since Lucy Underdown holds the current World Record of 300 kilograms (661.4 pounds), it means that her new PR is also an Unofficial World Record. However, considering how incredibly heavy this lift is, Lucy made it look easier than expected. Moreover, she only used a lifting belt and lifting straps to unofficially break the World Record by 10 kilograms (22 pounds).
Lucy Underdown captioned the video with two questions. “How much more can I Pull?” and “Will I get 700lbs +?”. So, she is obviously not satisfied enough with this lift and hopes to lift even more. Lucy has also confirmed in one comment that she will be attempting to break the record in a Raw Strongman fashion. This means that she will not put on a deadlift suit for her official attempt, but will use lifting straps.

Lucy Underdown received an invite to the 2023 Giants Live World Deadlift Championships, which will take place on September 2nd, in Cardiff, Wales. She accepted and will be the only woman to take part in this competition alongside 15 men. Judging by her new deadlift PR, Lucy should crush the World Record, assuming that she remains injury free, which will hopefully be the case.
Only one other Strongwoman has shown deadlift prowess close to Lucy Underdown. That woman is Victoria Long, who deadlifted 297 kilograms (654.8 pounds) with ease just a few days ago at the 2023 Khaos Classic. However, Victoria then jumped straight to 700 pounds and injured her hamstring. So, Lucy is now aiming to set the World Record bar even higher, making it practically untouchable for almost anyone.
Lucy Underdown also set a 305-kilogram (672.4-pound) Deadlift World Record on a Kratos Barbell at the 2023 UK’s Strongest Woman competition. She took part in the full contest as well, losing the title in the final event to Rebecca Roberts. However, she already has some other titles to her name, having won Arnold’s UK Strongwoman Pro and England’s Strongest Woman competitions in 2022.

Lucy Underdown has not been solely focusing on the deadlifts in training. Instead, she has been getting stronger overall, which is clear from the fact that she set a new 120-kilogram (264.6-pound) Log Lift PR just two days ago. So, she could very well become the World’s Strongest Woman very soon or claim some other prestigious titles.

Strongwoman Lucy Underdown Pulls Three Deadlift Reps With Current World Record Weight of 300-kg (661.4-lb)
There is no greater female deadlifter currently than Lucy Underdown, since the British Strongwoman is revolutionizing the event. She is currently the only Strongwoman to have deadlifted 300 kilograms (661.3 pounds) and thus holds the current World Record. However, Lucy also seems to be the only woman who can break that record, and judging by her recent training session, she might do it very soon. On July 19th, Lucy shared a video on her Instagram displaying a deadlift equal to her World Record, but this time she performed three reps with the humongous 300 kilograms (661.4 pounds).
Lucy Underdown loaded up 300 kilograms (661.4 pounds) on the barbell and wondered just how many reps she could lock out with it. She put on her lifting belt and lifting straps before setting up her conventional stance deadlift. After everything was set, Lucy started pulling the weight and locked out three reps with relative ease, which is mind-blowing considering how no other Strongwoman has deadlifted as much for a single rep at least.
Moreover, Lucy Underdown pointed out that she is currently not peaked, meaning that she will be able to lift even more weight in the future. Regardless, it is clear that Lucy has improved a lot since setting the 300-kilogram (661.4-pound) Deadlift World Record in a guest appearance at the 2021 UK’s Strongest Man competition.
“Reps at the current Strongwoman World Record!!
Crazy! ?
300kg/661lbs for 3 reps. And I’m not even peaked yet ?”

However, Giants Live organization has made an interesting remark on Instagram following Lucy Underdown’s 300-kilogram (661.4-pound) deadlift for three reps. They shared her video and hinted that they might invite her to the World Deadlift Championships. This competition will take place on September 2nd, so it remains to be seen if Lucy will be added to the 15-man roster.
“Should @lucyunders_strongwoman be invited to the World Deadlift Champs?” wrote Giants Live.
Lucy Underdown hasn’t spent much time in Strongwoman sport yet, but she is definitely already one of the greatest athletes ever. She has already won two major competitions in the form of 2022 Arnold’s UK Strongwoman Pro and 2022 England’s Strongest Woman, while also finishing on the podium at some other events.
Just a few weeks ago, Lucy deadlifted 305 kilograms (672.4 pounds) on a Kratos Barbell, which is longer and more flexible than the standard one. So, this lift was also a World Record on that variation of the deadlift.

Not too long ago, many people thought that a 300-kilogram (661.4-pound) deadlift could not be performed by a woman, but then came Lucy Underdown. She did what seemed humanly impossible and is now continuing to raise the bar with her mind-blowing lifts. Her recent three rep deadlift with the current World Record weight might be one of the greatest feats of strength in the history of Strongwoman, but there is certainly more to come from Lucy.

Strongwoman Lucy Underdown Crushes 280-kg (617.3-lb) Deadlift Four-Rep PR In Training
Lucy Underdown is easily the greatest deadlifter in the sport of Strongwoman, but one factor that makes her better than everyone is her hunger for improvement. Despite being on top of the deadlift charts, Lucy is still training harder than everyone. So, she often breaks records and sets new PRs, which was the case with her recent training session. Lucy landed a new 280-kilogram (617.3-pound) four-rep deadlift personal record (PR), and shared the video on Instagram.
Lucy Underdown performed the 280-kilogram (617.3-pound) four-rep deadlift with a conventional stance, as sumo is not allowed in Strongwoman. Regarding the equipment, she only used a lifting belt and a pair of lifting straps. Lucy did have some trouble placing all of the weight plates onto the barbell since the sleeves were loaded to their full capacity. However, she had spotters on each side of the bar to make sure that any plates that slide off are pushed back on.
“I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather and I’m going into a few days away so I’m very happy to have hit this as a PB”
